[opendtv] Re: Defining Visions: They've Done It To Us Again. . .???!!!

Why are you surprised?
Many of the current Upconverting DVD Players will only output hi-rez via the 
DVI/HDMI port.

The article starts out...

Here's a piece of really bad news for all 10 million of us who own 
digital television sets that are more than six months old. You won't be 
able to watch the new high-definition DVDs in high definition unless you 
buy a new TV. Whose to blame for this? Hollywood, of course.

Toshiba, the primary backer of HD DVD, one of the two competing 
high-definition formats, let it slip during road shows in Europe and the 
United States last month that the one and only high-definition output 
from its players will be HDMI, the digital input of choice on most new 
digital TVs. As recently as a year ago, DVI, not HDMI, was the input of 
choice, but even TVs with that older and still copy-protected input will 
not be able to watch HD DVDs in high definition.
